We’re back! Alex and Ryan cover all the latest in TMNT news and opinion. There was so much to cover that we split up the episode, so this is the first half of this 2-part recording. After the intro, Alex & Ryan cover gaming, television, and collecting updates, plus a few extra topics thrown in for some fun discussion! Part 2 will be released in 2 weeks and will cover the latest TMNT comics and Movie news. ------------------------- Quick News Bites: ------------------------- Rochester Americans and Cleveland Monsters don Rise of the TMNT themed jerseys for 'Nickelodeon Nights' Game Report: https://www.amerks.com/recap/20181226 Game Recap Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-UOONbX7U0 The Star Signs of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/the-star-signs-of-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles Kevin Eastman Updates: "Raphael: The Interview" - The Telegraph Wire – 1985 https://fan.kevineastmanstudios.com/interview-with-raphael/ Comics Interview #27 - 1985 https://fan.kevineastmanstudios.com/comics-interview/ Team Eastman 2019 Convention Schedule https://fan.kevineastmanstudios.com/schedule/ ------------------------- Video Game News ------------------------- Nicalis' Idea For a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Game Is Fantastic https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/11/27/nicalis-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-video-game-idea-beat-em-up/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Change is Constant & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: City Fall https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idwgames/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-adventures-city-fall/description Create EXTREME Pizzas In TMNT: NINJA PIZZA PARTY Game https://www.newsarama.com/42628-create-extreme-pizzas-in-tmnt-ninja-pizza-party-game.html ------------------------- TV News  ------------------------- Classic 87 TMNT Featured in Honda Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I9Su9Sy6Ao Matt Mahaffey: the Nashville music genius behind the new 'Ninja Turtles' https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2018/10/11/matt-mahaffey-ninja-turtles-theme-song-rise-tmnt-shrek-soundtrack/1357399002/ 'Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Debuts On DVD March 12, 2019! http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2018/12/rise-of-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles.html Rise of the TMNT nominated for 3 Annie Awards, including Best Animated Television/Broadcast Production for Children https://variety.com/2018/film/news/incredibles-2-ralph-annie-awards-nominations-1203077216/ 'Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles': Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas Make Their Debut in Exclusive New Clip https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/2019/01/17/rise-of-the-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-paul-scheer-jason-mantzoukas/ ------------------------- Collecting News ------------------------- J.
